My Deep-sea Fishery

For various reasons, the price of Pippi shrimp has remained high.

Even if it is farmed, as long as it is a little bigger, it can be called the King of Mantis Shrimp, and the price usually reaches two hundred yuan a catty.

Xiang Yang took hundreds of catties in one go this time, which is definitely a big deal for this small stall.

After the transaction was completed, the other party quickly called two small workers, saying that they would help Xiang Yang deliver the goods to the car.

Xiang Yang thought, he still needs to buy some other ingredients. Although the seafood is high-grade, he can’t buy all the seafood. There must be some ingredients and other meat at the celebration banquet. The bosses of other shops may not necessarily have This store speaks so well.

So, Xiang Yang took out another few hundred dollars and said, "Madam proprietress, I don't think there will be any shortage of people in your store for a short time, and I still have to go shopping in this vegetable market, or you can borrow another Give me a few people and help me get the goods."

When the shop owner heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "Hey, how can I still charge you for such a small matter, these Pipi shrimps will be put here first, and these two brothers will follow you, the boss first."

Such a large transaction made the owner of the shop extremely talkative.

Xiang Yang thought that he really needed it, so he didn't refuse, and let the two men who worked in the seafood shop follow behind him.

Passing by a shop selling meat, Zhang Qicheng was about to step in. Suddenly, Xiang Yang grabbed Zhang Qicheng and said, "Brother Zhang, wait a moment."

"What's wrong?" Zhang Qicheng asked in confusion.

"There may be something wrong with the items sold in that store." Xiang Yang pointed to a seafood store.

Zhang Qicheng glanced at the store, and just wanted to say that there are many shoddy things in the seafood market, and it’s none of your business if there is a problem with the store, then he remembered that this seafood market is his own business, and the stalls and storefronts in it are the same. It is not directly operated by Zhang Qicheng, and it is somewhat related to Zhang Qicheng.

"What problem do you see?" Zhang Qicheng asked hastily.

Xiang Yang frowned, pointed to a large water tank outside the store and said, "Brother Zhang, look at that water tank."

Zhang Qicheng glanced there, and said casually, "Isn't that Dong Xingban?"

Dongxingban is very popular among diners, and it is also one of the more expensive seafood.

I saw that there was a group of fiery red eastern star spots in that water tank, which looked very beautiful.

"Dong Xingban? Brother Zhang, you can see clearly." Xiang Yang said.

Seeing what Xiang Yang said, Zhang Qicheng hurriedly looked over.

"This fish seems a little strange." Zhang Qicheng said a little unconfidently.

"What's a little strange, isn't this Dongxingban?" A seafood shop employee who followed Xiang Yang wondered.

"No, this is definitely not Dong Xingban." Zhang Qicheng shook his head decisively.

Zhang Qicheng was very angry. Recently, in the seafood market, people often used other fish to pretend to be Dong Xingban to make huge profits. Zhang Qicheng did not expect that someone would do such a small trick in his own place.

"That's right, this fish is indeed not the authentic East Star Spot. The scientific name of this kind of fish used by merchants to fake East Star Spot is Nine-thorned Bass with Tail Stripe." Xiang Yang said.

"Nine-thorn perch with tail stripes?" Zhang Qicheng looked at Xiang Yang suspiciously.

"These fish are all live fish, so they are easy to identify. There are two light-colored oblique bands on the caudal fin of the nine-spotted seabass. There are many light-colored spots between the oblique bands. The outer bands are red and have a white edge. It is the easiest way to distinguish two kinds of fish with such a light-colored oblique band, but if the restaurant removes the tail of the fish, you will have to keep your eyes open to identify the fish carefully.” Xiang Yang said.

The color of the eastern star spot can be divided into blue, red, brown and yellow, etc. The body shape is thinner and longer than the general grouper fish, the head is thinner, the blue eyes have black pupils, and the body is covered with fine white spots, which look like stars in the sky. Therefore, it is called star spot. Now, the price of Dongxing spot weighing one or two catties in general restaurants is five to six hundred yuan per catty, while the price in hotels is much higher than this price.

However, the body of the perch is oblong, flat on the sides, dark red to reddish brown in color, darker in the rear, with many small orange-red spots and irregular reddish-brown mottles on the head, sometimes with small pale spots and Several inconspicuous irregular horizontal bands.

In addition, the dorsal fin and the soft rays of the anal fin have many small orange-red dots and the fin membrane has an orange edge, and the pelvic fin has an orange-red edge with a blue edge. These knowledgeable people can see it through careful observation. of.

"Nine-tailed seabass is a small grouper, not the main economic fish species. It is usually caught by boat fishing, and the quantity is not very large. In addition, the fish soup tastes good, so it is often fooled by people, so Brother Zhang, it's normal if you don't know." Xiang Yang said.

"It's also marked on the water tank whether it's East starfish or nine-tailed perch. Could it be that just because someone used this tail-striped nine-thorn perch as East starfish, the two bosses suspected that there was something wrong with that store?" Behind Xiang Yang, the leather The guy at the shrimp shop said very unconvinced.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Qicheng waved his hand and said, "Come on, follow me to his boss."

"How do you sell this fish?" Xiang Yang asked the owner of the shop.

The owner of the store is a short, slightly fat man. When he saw someone visiting his store, he got up quickly and said, "Boss, you have a good eye. One point, it has already been booked in advance by the hotel, how can we wait until now."

"Is this the authentic wild eastern star spot?" Zhang Qicheng said in a low voice.

The short boss had a ghost in his heart, so when he heard Zhang Qicheng's words, he became angry and suspicious, and quickly began to inquire about Zhang Qicheng's identity, "This boss, may I ask who you are?"

"My surname is Zhang, and I'm going to have a banquet in a while, so I came out early to buy some ingredients." Zhang Qicheng said in a huff.

When the owner of the seafood shop heard this, he was overjoyed immediately, "It turned out to be Boss Zhang. Let me tell you, this is definitely the most authentic wild East Star Spot. I just fished it out of the sea some time ago."

"Are you a wedding banquet or something? If you want a large quantity, I will give you a discounted price of 700 yuan per catty. This fish will definitely be of high quality when it is served on the table." The owner of the seafood shop tried his best to persuade him.

Zhang Qicheng had already got what he wanted in his heart, and he didn't want to say anything more to the boss, so he said directly: "This fish is too expensive, I only want a few hundred yuan for a table, and yours is a few hundred yuan." block, can’t afford it.”

After speaking, he pulled Xiang Yang and left.

Xiang Yang asked suspiciously: "Brother Zhang, he's ruining your reputation, don't you care?"

Zhang Qicheng grinned, "How could I manage such a small shop myself?"

After finishing speaking, Zhang Qicheng took out his mobile phone and made a call. On the phone, he told the other party about this matter sternly.
